Neiel

When I might have seen the lush lands
and their rolling hills.

When no distance was too great.

So I heard that I belonged
In the hearts of the brave.

When some silence was too faint.

Let me walk then through the valleys
Where the winds don’t blow.

When a current of dust saved the saints.

For now I might take comfort 
In the shade of this way.
